About Petticoat Junktion ( that’s me, Kathy)

Thanks for stopping by. I love visitors. I’m Kathy and I live in Clarksville, Tennessee. I happily admit to being a junk addict. Some of my passions are; architectural objects,rusty junk, rhinestone jewelry, vintage hardware, and old wood furniture. I love, love, love, painting furniture! I use paint, fabric, paper, appliques, stencils, toners, etc. when restyling a piece of furniture. My favorite shopping spots are junk shops, flea markets, and salvage yards. I love sharing pictures of my junkin’ trips. Come along for the ride. It’s always fun!

My leap into painting furniture for resell began in Pensacola, Florida. I rented a booth at Alyssa’s Antique Depot in Pace, Fl and I continued my painting and junkin’ when we returned to Tennessee. Now you can find my furniture and found treasures for sale at You Never Know, 1218 College St., Clarksville. I also retail Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint, Caromal Colours, and Reclaim paint products for furniture.

My Blog life began in May of 2011. My friend Kendall started me on the basics of setting up a blog and I went from there. My husband once told Kendall she created a monster. Blogging is a full time job and I kind of have a love/hate relationship with it. I love sharing pictures of my projects and posting tutorials, but I really hate to write. Weird huh!

My loving husband is a 26 year Army veteran. I have 2 grown children, a beautiful daughter-in-law, a fabulous son-in-law, and 4 wonderful grandchildren.
